Embodiment
Present with detailed embodiment with reference to this present general inventive concept, the example of embodiment shown in the drawings, Reference numeral identical in the accompanying drawing refers to components identical all the time.Below by embodiment is described with reference to the drawings, so that explain this present general inventive concept.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of explanation according to the imaging device of the embodiment of this present general inventive concept.With reference to figure 1, imaging device comprises scanning element 110, numbering recognition unit 120, control unit 130, memory cell 140, print unit 150, panel unit 160 and display unit 170.
Scanning element 110 produces scan-data by scanned document.For example, when the user was deposited into a plurality of documents (or page) on the outside or inner automatic document feeder that is configured in imaging equipment body, scanning element 110 was with each page or leaf of the order scanned document of stacking, to produce scan-data.
The scan-data that is provided by scanning element 110 is stored in the memory cell 140.
Numbering recognition unit 120 is identified in the page number of mark on the specific region of each scan page.Numbering recognition unit 120 utilizes optical character identification (OCR) function to discern the page number of each page.Imaging device can use OCR software partly to come the image of analysis scan by scan image being divided into bright (bright) part and dark (dark), if and scan image is identified as character, the scan image that then will have the text image (text image) corresponding to character converts the character string of ASCII character to.Like this, scan image just is converted into text character.Here, the user is the zone on the specified page at random, so that numbering recognition unit 120 can read in the page number in this appointed area.Because for all types of documents, page number can all not write on identical position, so the user may need to import the positional information (level and vertical coordinate) in page number zone on the page that will scan.For example, the appointed area that comprises page number can be bottom, top, right side, left side or the centre of each page.Therefore, this has just reduced and has read the required time quantum of page number.
Control unit 130 determines whether to print current scan page according to page number and/or the predetermined page sort order by the page (post-scanned page) after the page number of numbering recognition unit 120 identifications, the scanning.
For example, if the page 1 is scanned, whether control unit 130 is determined according to page sort order scan page 1 corresponding to first page in a plurality of pages.If according to page sort order, scan page 1 is corresponding to first page of a plurality of pages, and then scan page 1 can be printed immediately.On the other hand, if scan page 1 is not first page, then control unit 130 is determined whether being scanned at the preceding page according to the page sort order page 1.Here, described can have the page number lower than scan page 1 at the preceding page.That is, describedly need before print scanned page or leaf 1, be printed at the preceding page.If be scanned and/or print at the preceding page, then should be print scanned page or leaf 1 because should be printed according to page sort order scan page 1.But if there is the page 2, its page number is the numbering lower than the page number of scan page 1, and described conduct also is not scanned at the page 2 of the preceding page, in this case, scan page 1 is stored in the memory cell 140.If scan page 1 does not just meet page sort order have being printed of low page number before the preceding page, and the page that prints just can not be the order of expectation.Therefore, scan page 1 remains on armed state, is scanned up to the page 2.Thereby, before scan page 2 is at first scanned and is printed, not print scanned page or leaf 1.By this way, according to the sort order printer page.
And control unit 130 produces the state information about each page print state of progress, and this state information is stored in the memory cell 140.Control unit 130 is with reference to the definite storage area corresponding to each page of predetermined page sort order, and the state information of storing each page in determined zone.
Here, state information can comprise the address information in the zone of memory scanning data in the index information, memory 140 of each page, the status indication the information whether interested page of indication can be printed, the history of printing the label information whether interested page of indication has been printed etc.Status indication information and history of printing label information can be indicated as 0 or 1.For example, be confirmed as under the printable situation at the page, control unit 130 is 1 (that is, connecting (ON) state) with the status indication information setting of the page.Under the situation that the page is ready, control unit 130 is 0 (that is, turn-offing (OFF) state) with the status indication information setting.Under the situation of having printed the page, control unit 130 history of printing label informations are set to 1 (that is on-state).At last, under the situation of printer page not, control unit 130 history of printing label informations are set to 0 (that is off state).
Print unit 150 is carried out print job according to the state information of each page.Print unit 150 print state label informations are in the page of on-state, and the print state label information is not in the page of off state.If status indication information is in on-state, then print unit 150 is checked address information, reads the scan-data of respective page from the appointed area of memory cell 140 according to address information, and carries out printing.Be at the history of printing label information under the situation of the page of on-state, print job is omitted, to avoid duplicate printing.
Panel unit 160 makes the user can select the operator scheme of control unit 130.The operator scheme that control unit 130 depends on user's selection is provided with page sort order.
Control unit 130 can be operated with one of normal sequencing model, user's sequencing model and normal mode.In normal sequencing model, control unit 130 according to from first page of one or more documents (page) to the end the page number of one page page sort order is set.In this case, control unit 130 is display message on display unit 170, makes the user can import the page number of total page number and first page.When the page number of user by panel unit 160 input total page numbers and first page, control unit 130 is based on the information setting page sort order of user's input.For example, suppose the sum of user's input " 10 ", and input " 1 " is as first page page number as scan page.Then control unit 130 page sort orders are set to from 1 to 10 ascending order.Perhaps, control unit 130 can pass through display unit 170 display messages, makes the user can import first page the page number and the page number of last page.When the user numbered by panel unit 160 input first page numbers and last page, control unit 130 was according to the information setting page sort order of user's input.For example, suppose user's input " 11 " as first page number, and input " 20 " is numbered as last page.Then control unit 130 page sort orders are set to from 11 to 20 ascending order.
In user's sequencing model, control unit 130 makes that by display unit 170 display messages the user can the incoming page numeral order.When the user passed through panel unit 160 incoming page numeral orders, control unit 130 was provided with page sort order based on the page number order of input.
In normal mode, control unit 130 page scan order are set to page sort order.
The view specification of Fig. 2 the process of in the imaging device of Fig. 1, using according to given scanning sequence processing page data, a kind of sort order also has been described, wherein use 130 pairs of a plurality of pages of control unit of described imaging device to sort and print.With reference to Fig. 1 and 2,6 pages are scanned by the order according to 1,2,4,3,5 and 6 altogether.Suppose that control unit 130 operates with normal sequencing model.Then can after scanning, print immediately as first page the page 1.In this case, control unit 130 status indication information and history of printing label information are set to on-state.State information is stored in first storage area 151 of memory cell 140.
Next, when the scanning page 2, status indication information is set to on-state, because at the preceding page, promptly the page 1, is scanned.The scan-data of the page 2 is stored in second storage area 152.Status indication information is set to on-state.Thereby when the printing of the page 1 was done, print unit 150 was checked the status indication information of second storage area 152.When the status indication information that identifies second storage area was on-state, print unit 150 began the printing to the page 2.When the printing of the page 2 also was done, the history of printing label information was set to on-state.
Next, when the scanning page 4, owing to also be not scanned as the page 3 at the preceding page of the page 4, so status indication information is set to off state.Therefore, the state information of control unit 130 memory page 4 in the 4th storage area 154, and be off state with the status indication information setting.Because third and fourth storage area 153 and 154 is also without any data, perhaps its status indication information is set to off state, so print unit 150 stops print scanned page 4 printing printer page 2 after, and enters standby.
When the scanning page 3, because it is at the preceding page, promptly the page 1 and the page 2 are scanned, so status indication information is set to on-state, and scan page 3 is printed immediately.The state information of the page 3 is stored in the 3rd storage area 153.In this case, the follow-up page of control unit 130 searched page 3 in scan page.According to Fig. 2, the page 4 is follow-up pages of the page 3.Therefore, the page 4 Be Controlled unit 130 search, and the status indication information of the page 4 is set to on-state.In this manner, print unit 150 order printer pages 3 and 4.
When the page 5 and the page 6 were sequentially scanned, control unit 130 is each page of storage in the 5th and the 6th storage area 155 and 156 in order, and the data printed corresponding to the page 5 and 6 of control print unit 150.
If control unit 130 is operated under user's sequencing model, and the order of a plurality of pages of user is set to 3,1,2,4,6 and 5 order, then the order of control unit 130 these user's appointments is set to page sort order, and determines according to the sort order that is provided with whether the page is printable.When the scanning page 3, do not print data corresponding to scan page 3, but with its storage.After scanning and having stored the page 3, when the page 1 and 2 is scanned, can be printed corresponding to the data of the page 1,2 and 3.Since basic identical in other operation of described process and the normal sequencing model, the description after therefore having omitted hereinafter.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart of explanation according to the formation method of the embodiment of this present general inventive concept.With reference to figure 1 and 3, when the scanning page (S310), imaging device is identified in the page number (S320) on the respective page.Then, imaging device is stored in (S330) in the memory cell 140 with the state information of the scan-data and the page.
Next, imaging device is with reference to the page number on the predetermined page sort order and the page that scans before, determines current scan page whether printable (S340).If current scan page printable (S340), then imaging device is carried out print job (S350).If current scan page not printable (S340), then imaging device is maintained at (printing) standby.
At last, imaging device determines to the last whether all pages of one page all have been scanned (S360), and repeats said process, and to the last one page is scanned.In this embodiment of Fig. 3, at first storaging state information determines then whether the interested page is printable.Depend on definite result, status indication information is set at last.Can determine at first also whether the interested page is printable, store the state information that comprises status indication information after a while again.
